NTOU is an ocean-based university, but not limited to the ocean and also an internationally well-known university with excellence in teaching and featured research.
NTOU has three campuses: The main campus, Matsu campus, and Guanyin-Taoyuan campus. We have seven colleges, consisting of 22 departments, 12 graduate institutes, 28 master programs, 20 doctoral programs, 13 in-service master programs, and four bachelor programs of extension education. NTOU has nearly 9,000 students and about 500 overseas students, which makes NTOU the top ocean university internationally.
The main campus is situated in the mountains and faces Keelung Harbor, near Heping Island, Zhengbin Fishing Harbor, Bisha Fishing Harbor, and the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology. The main campus is a beautiful harbor/city university with Longgang Ecological Park and has the endless ocean view of the Pacific Ocean. Matsu campus was founded in Sept. 2017 and has three departments. In addition to the teaching/learning and research, the goal of the Matsu campus is to closely integrate with the development of Matsu industry. We established Matsu Ocean Research Center in order to promote more industry-university cooperation, biotechnology developments, infrastructure constructions, shipping developments, and the developments of leisure and recreation. With the multi-faceted developments, it is expected to develop more cross-disciplinary marine professionals. In Guanyin-Taoyuan campus, we also established the Ocean Innovation Incubation Base, a platform for marine environment observations, and a marine science park, which assists Taoyuan city government to build a metropolitan Taoyuan city.

From Provincial Taiwan Maritime Technology College with a campus area of only 991.8 square meters in the beginning to Provincial Maritime College and then National Taiwan College of Marine Science and Technology, we’ve come a long way before gradually developing into the current National Taiwan Ocean University with a campus area of 60 hectares. We have become an international top university that “focuses on ocean but not limited to it” and are famous for both “excellent teaching” and “characteristic research”.
We currently have three campuses, including “Keelung Campus”( main campus ), “Matsu Campus”, and “Taoyuan Guanyin Campus”. There are seven colleges in the university and containing 22 departments, 12 independent institutes, 28 master’s programs, 20 PhD programs, 13 in-service master's programs, and 4 bachelor programs of extension education.

The unique Longgang Ecological Park is in our campus and is a good place to look at the beautiful sea view of the boundless Pacific Ocean; it makes us a harbour city university with beautiful landscape. Our Matsu Campus was established in September 2017, and there are three departments there. Other than teaching and experimental research, the featured key courses in the campus are closely linked with to the direction of industrial development in Matsu. Meanwhile, we also set up “Matsu Marine Research Centre” to plan multi-dimensional development related to academia and industry collaboration, biotechnology value-added technology, transport infrastructure, shipping, water activities, and tourism & recreation with the anticipation of cultivating interdisciplinary high-level talents in the marine industry. In November 2018, we established “Marine Incubation Centre” in Taoyuan Guanyin Campus, where we set up a marine environment observation platform and a marine science park to assist Taoyuan City Government to construct Taoyuan as a large cosmopolitan city that are with resources of land, sea, and sky.
Over the years, our university earned recognition for our performance in teaching, research, and service one after another. Starting from 2005, we have been selected continuously as the key university for “Program of Promoting Teaching Excellence of Universities” launched by Ministry of Education. Since 2006, we have been awarded special grants for “Five-Year Plan to Develop First-Class Universities and Top-level Research Centers in NT$50 Billion”, “Aim for the Top University Project”, two featured first-class research centers for the first part and the second part of “Higher Education Sprout Project”- “Ocean Centre” and “Centre of Excellence for Ocean Engineering”, and “University Social Responsibility (USR) Project” by Ministry of Education continuously. The “Journal of Marine Science and Technology (JMST)” published by our university has become the first journal among the journals published by the domestic universities that is included in the database of dual I (SCI and EI). It can be regarded as the recognition from external parties to our university in the dimensions of teaching, research, and service.
